Should you go first and I remain To walk the road alone, Ill live in memories garden, dear, With happy days weve known, In spring Ill touch the flowers Red and blue In autumn when golden leaves fall, Ill catch a glimpse of you. Should you go first and I remain For battles to be fought, Each thing youve touched along the way, Will be a hallowed spot. Ill hear your voice, Ill see your smile, And this will help me go the extra mile. Weve known so much of happiness, Weve had our cup of joy, And memory is one gift of God The death cannot destroy. - Love Dennis Youll always be in our hearts and thoughts mom/gramma. Even though we cannot be together, we know you will be with us to guide us down lifes path just as you have always to keep us strong and caring. Special thank you to Dr. Schellenberg, Dr. Hutfluss, Dr. Mulder, the staff and nurses on the 4th floor West of the Grace Hospital, her special niece Cathy Kay and all her very dear friends for all their love, caring, support and many visits.
